Note on Gaelic names and terms.
Early medieval spelling has been preferred. Variants of a term differing from it
mainly in the use of markers for lenited consonants (b/bh, d/dh, g/gh, m/mh, p/ph, s/sh, t/th) have not been
indicated; thus,
Cogadh Gaedheal re Gallaibh
appears under
Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib
without cross-referencing.
Patronymic personal names are alphabetized under the given name with no cross-reference from the byname (i.e.,
under the noninverted form only).
